11 Lessons Learned at WeddingMBA: Series starts Today

While speaking and exhibiting at WeddingMBA last week, we also snuck in a few sessions and came back many lessons learned from the largest wedding industry convention in the U.S.

In our new series — 11 Lessons Learned at WeddingMBA — we’ll share some of what we learned with you, our wedding industry friends.

You’ll find a few new lessons each week for the next month.  We’ll also send out a weekly digest (sign-up here to receive the email) of the lesson highlights.

And we start you with a bonus lesson: Not many people are awake at 9 a.m. on Wednesday during WeddingMBA. 

You see, the evening before is the WeddingWire party at the Palms (which we enjoyed but left early to get in a good night’s sleep).  So we know that many of you who did attend WeddingMBA probably missed Kelly Werder’s session, The Runaway Bride: Protecting Your Business and Your Money.  Well you view the slides HERE and still take advantage of the Contract Review or Template special. {inquire via email to: Kelly@wedbizmedia.com}

Now, on to Lesson One: Vintage & Rustic are still here, they’re just more specific {The Knot’s Rebecca Dolgin shares 2013 Trends at WeddingMBA}
